6. Enable Lazy-Load Images

Lazy loading images means loading images on websites asynchronously — that is, after the above-the-fold content is fully loaded, or even conditionally, only when they appear in the browser’s viewport. This means that if users don’t scroll all the way down, images placed at the bottom of the page won’t even be loaded.

8. Disable Hotlinking To Your Blog

In general, if you want to insert an image into your post, you need to upload this image on your hosting server, and insert it by adding the image URL.

However, some folks display images on their website by linking to the same images on your website without your permission. Briefly, this is image hotlinking.

Image hotlinking is annoyed because it steals your images as well as costs your bandwidth. Every time someone visits the hotlinking website, the image is loaded from your server, which consumes your server bandwidth instead of theirs. If your website has many image hotlinks, it can be slow down greatly.

12. Disable TrackBacks And PingBacks

What is a Trackback?

Trackbacks give bloggers the ability to communicate between websites. Its almost like one person saying to another “This is something you may be interested in”. The best way to think about this is a Youtube Response video. So for example:

– We write a post on our blog.
– You want to comment on our post, but you want your own readers to see what you have to say and able to comment on it.
– You will then write a post on your blog and send a trackback to our blog post.
– We will receive your trackback, and choose to display it as a comment or not. The comment display will be a title, excerpt and a link to your blog post.

What is a Pingback?

Pingbacks give softwares the ability communicate between websites. Its almost like remote comments.

– We write a post on our blog.
– You write a post on your blog mentioning/linking to our article.
– Your blogging software will automatically send us a pingback.
– Our blogging software will receive the pingback. It will then automatically go to your blog to confirm that the pingback originates there (the link is present).
– Then we will have the ability to display your pingback as our comment. This will solely be a link to your site.

Pingbacks also work within your site. So if one of your posts link to another post, then your WordPress will send a self-ping. This can get really annoying
